Firecests. If you're going to spend a lot of money than at least buy something that provides some extra performance(however small it might be) than a cheap custom build.

A quick search turns up the Reynolds Attack for £933, whereas the cheapest I can find the Zipps is £1,787.

So- the Attacks are half the price, are the Zipps twice the wheel?

That analogy doesn't really work when talking about top end technologies. You could build a set of wheels with xr3o rims, cx-ray spokes, and cheapo hubs for about $350, and get performance on par with Attacks. I can't think of cheap build that would get you on par with Zipp Firecrests.

Personally I do not see the attraction with tubulars for road in 2014. My ENVE's and Zipp's have a max PSI of 115, the heat issue is no more and I can swap a tube a lot faster then re-gluing but I could understand the need for CX with pinch flats and low tire pressure being the only reason.

I do use vittoria open tubs on my clinchers, they are nice and supple but slick in the rain. I can't live without veloflex and FMB tubs on my zipps. The glue removal work also burns 2kg. of fat on average and the glue cleaning melts about 100 grams of brain cells.

I think eventually the ideal will be deep carbon tubeless. I guess Easton makes some already.
